DFI LP UT 790FX-M2R Review @ OCWorkbench
OCWorkbench reviews the DFI LP UT 790FX-M2R motherboard and gives it a final rating of 8.8/10. Here’s an excerpt of the conclusion:
DFI puts out an impressive package with this flagship 790FX product. Performance of this board is pretty impressive with the X2 5000+ CPU. With CrossFire enabled, we can see that the 3D performance shot up to performance levels of a 8600GTS and beyond.
In terms of features, this board has an array of good stuff built onto this board. Basically, what you want from a board is already there. With 3 slots of PCIe, the board is basically ready for CrossFire X. The down side is that it only has 3 slots, so you won’t be able to run Quad Fire on it in the future. Well, it doesn’t really matter at this point of time as we tested 3 2600XT and run them in CrossFire mode, the performance is worse than using 2 cards. The catalyst 7.11 driver is simply not ready for CrossFire X as yet. [...]
The package is superb. So far, i think DFI is the first company to provide an additional heatpipe in the package. The Debug LED and the EZ buttons are also cool stuff that I like.
